FlangeConnectors

Description

A flange is described by the connector classInterfaces.Flange_aor Interfaces.Flange_b. As already noted, the two connectorclasses are completely identical. There is only a difference in the icons,in order to easier identify a flange variable in a diagram.Both connector classes contain the following variables:

   Modelica.SIunits.Position   s "Absolute position of flange";   flow Modelica.SIunits.Force f "Cut-force in the flange";

If needed, the velocity v and theacceleration a of a flange connector can bedetermined by differentiation of the flange position s:

     v = der(s);    a = der(v);
